Weekend Recap

Well we are settling into Boise now and getting to know a few more people. When we first moved here the only couple we knew was Brookes' best friend growing up Brandon Scheaffer and his wife Nikole. We would not have made it our first few months here without them. We love doing things with them but, this weekend we branched out a little and figured it was time to meet some people in our ward. So on Friday night we went out to dinner with a couple in our ward to Carino's. It's an Italian restaurant here in Idaho. After dinner we then went back to their home and played a game called "ticket to ride". It was a fun game. We were there until almost midnight. They were a cute couple and we had a good time.

On Saturday we ran errands and drove around and looked at houses for sale here in Meridian. We have not found anything we can't live without. That evening Brooke's boss invited us out to eat with him and his wife and then to attend their sons high school basketball game. We went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. The dinner was very good but, unfortunately their sons team lost pretty bad. Brooke is really lucky his boss is a really good guy. We really enjoy the time we spend with him and his wife.

Sunday of course was spent at church and choir practice but, we did invite a couple in our ward here over for dinner. They live here in our apartment complex. They moved here a month before us from Idaho Falls. They brought their little girl with them and she loved following Toby around. Although, Toby was not real thrilled with the idea. He didn't like that she could also fit behind the couch. We had a nice time getting to know them. I had made dinner and she offered to bring dessert. So all in all it was a pretty busy weekend. We are getting to know people and that makes it feel more like home. Although, it would feel a lot more like home if I could have all my belongings from Ohio here with me or I actually had a home. All in due time.

Sewing and Scentsy

Sorry for being gone so long. Nothing like starting a blog and then deserting it. I had good reason I promise. I decided with the way the economy was that I would make all my Christmas gifts this year. So I spent most of the month of November sewing. You should know I only had a small knowledge of sewing when I began this undertaking and now that it is over, I realize I had a smaller amount of knowledge then I thought. Needless to say that is why it took me most of November and the first part of December. The other reason I have been gone is because of:


That's right Scentsy. I have made a goal to really get my Scentsy business up and moving this year. I made Director this fall and really want to help my team meet all their goals. So I am leaving in a few weeks to go back to Ohio to meet with all my team members. Scentsy is such an amazing company and I am really happy to be a part of it. So that's what I have been up to. Sewing and Scentsy. We also had Thanksgiving in Utah, making gingerbread houses with the in-laws, Christmas work parties, taking the nieces and nephews out for a day of bowling and Chuck E Cheese, Christmas in Ohio, lots of visiting with family and friends, and Brooke getting sick once it was all over. So here is to a new year and hoping I can blog more often.
